Liquid Density Calculator:
Enter the values of mass of the liquid, Lm(g) and volume of the liquid, Lv(L) to determine the value of Liquid density, DL(g/L).
Liquid Density Formula:
Liquid density (DL) signifies the mass per unit volume of a liquid, typically measured in grams per litre. It reflects how much mass is contained in a specific volume of the liquid.
Higher mass in a given volume translates to higher density.
Different liquids have varying densities due to differences in molecular composition and intermolecular forces.
Temperature and pressure can influence the density of a liquid, with most liquids expanding and becoming less dense when heated.
A liquid’s density affects its buoyancy, with denser liquids able to support lighter objects more effectively.
A heavier liquid (more mass, LM) will have a higher density (DL) if its volume (LV) stays the same.
A liquid with a smaller volume (LV) will have a higher density (DL) even if its mass (LM) stays the same. This is because the same amount of mass is squeezed into a tighter space.
Liquid density, DL(g/L) in grams per litre is equal to the mass of the liquid, Lm(g) in grams is divided by the volume of the liquid, Lv(L) in litres.
Liquid density, DL(g/L) = Lm(g) / Lv(L)
DL(g/L) = liquid density in grams per litre, g/L.
Lm(g) = mass of the liquid in grams, g.
Lv(L) = volume of the liquid in litres, L.
Liquid Density Calculation:
- Find Liquid density:
Given: Lm(g) = 500g, Lv(L) = 2L.
Liquid density, DL(g/L) = Lm(g) / Lv(L)
DL(g/L) = 500 / 2
DL(g/L) = 250g/L.
- Find mass of the liquid:
Given: DL(g/L) = 1.2g/L, Lv(L) = 5L.
Liquid density, DL(g/L) = Lm(g) / Lv(L)
Lm(g) = DL(g/L) * Lv(L)
Lm(g) = 1.2 * 5
Lm(g) = 6g.
